tonight he will not sing at Sanremo 2021, Noemi instead- Corriere.it

Fallen for the first time at the San Remo Festival: what was feared happened, that is, that someone could be positive for Covid before the Festival started. Even if it does not involve the competitor directly in the race (and after the Extraliscio false alarm): success to one of the Irama staff members after it was subjected to the antigenic swab. Therefore, by regulation, the singer had to undergo a molecular test swab, the result of which was negative. He won’t be able to perform tonight anyway. and her place will be occupied by Naomi, waiting to understand what will be decided by the singer.

According to ministerial protocolsin fact, those who came into close contact with a person with Covid in the 48 hours prior to discovery of positivity must adhere to a quarantine. Following this logic and considering the strict protocol also established for the Festival, Irama’s exclusion would be inevitable. Amadeus himself, in anticipation of the Festival held in Tg1, explained that if tomorrow morning the Irama staff member tests positive for the molecular swab, performed as a consequence of the antigen, Irama will go into quarantine and will have to withdraw from the race. But, Ama added, before we bandage our heads we wait for the results.
